Sunday Post October 1, 2017/It's Monday! What are You Reading? Plus Mailbox Monday October 2, 2017

I am linking with Sunday Post at Caffeinated Book Reviewer.

It's Monday! What Are You Reading now at The Book Date.
Thank you to Sheila for the years that she handled this meme.
Thank you to Kathryn for taking up the baton.

What Are You Reading, is where we gather to share what we have read this past week and what we plan to read this week. It is a great way to network with other bloggers, see some wonderful blogs, and put new titles on your reading list.

I had another busy week catching up on legal work, with more to do this week. Now I am trying to fight off a cold without loosing work time. :-(

My reading/listening time seemed pinched but I enjoyed the reads. I finished two books: one ebooks and one audio. But I am far along in two others. I posted three reviews, plus my usual memes.

I visited only 25 blogs again last week. I didn't get to go to any after Tuesday night.
Shout out this week is for Rainy Day Ramblings who has a lovely book blog.
Thank you to all the nice people who visit me.

Crown of Souls
by Ronie Kendig
I like this author and was in the mood for good, Christian military suspense.
I received this through NetGalley (it released in September).
"Kendig has out done herself."--RT Book Reviews on Conspiracy of Silence
Six months after stopping a deadly plague, Cole "Tox" Russell and his team are enjoying a little rest. That peace is short-lived when a sniper shot hits Tox. The enemy is discovered to be one of their own, a rogue Special Forces team operator.
Alec King is perhaps the only person as skilled as Tox, and he's out for justice. Furious with orders that got his men killed, he intends to make those responsible pay. And he insists Tox join him, believing they are the same breed of soldier.
Afraid his old friend is right, Tox battles a growing darkness within himself as he and his team engage in another deadly encounter with antiquity. It appears Alec is cheating--he's using a mysterious artifact, a crown that history has linked to some of the worst slaughters in humanity. Racing to stop Alec before his vengeance is unleashed, Tox must fight the monster without becoming one.

4. eBook/Kindle (NG)

Wild Justice
by M.L. Buchman
I get to read two military romance stories 
from authors I like.
I received this from the author.
It releases 10/17.
 DELTA FORCE
The best counter-terrorism force on the planet.
SERGEANT DUANE JENKINS
• Elite Delta operator—explosives just make him grin •
AGENT SOFIA FORTEZA
• Top Intel Analyst for The Activity—thinks data is sexy•
The team must face their toughest mission yet: take down a massive human-trafficking ring and a corrupt Venezuelan spy agency—without leaving a trace.
Sofia and Duane.
In common: black sheep of extremely wealthy families, renegades against the status quo.
Differences: tactician vs. explosives expert, thinker vs. pure warrior.
Together: fight to keep their team alive, and their love.

October 1, 2017 - I am back reading on track in the One Year Bible, still with one week to catch up. I am working on getting back on track. I have been reading along with my husband and others from our church. I hope to take more time this year, staying on the day and listening to the companion commentary online.

I completed two books and posted three reviews. That keeps me at three reviews to be up to date.
I am now twelve titles behind linking my reviews to Goodreads, Amazon and Audible. :-( I just haven't had time to link.
I was down to 3 NetGalley titles but now back to 10. Still 2 author titles in my queue, the others are instafreebies that I do want to get to but not the same commitment.

We're working on two fiction books soon to add to eTreasure's NetGalley page.

Welcome to Mailbox Monday.

Mailbox Monday is a gathering place for readers to share the books that came into their house last week and explore great book blogs. This Meme started with Marcia at A Girl and Her Books (fka The Printed Page) and after a tour of hosts has returned to its permanent home at Mailbox Monday. Thanks to the ladies sharing hosting duties: Leslie of Under My Apple Tree, Serena of Savvy Verse & Wit and (yours truly).  
Warning: Mailbox Monday can lead to envy, toppling TBR piles and humongous wish lists.
I picked up eight NetGalley titles and one audiobook for review.
I selected one Audible Daily Deal and two kindle titles for $.99 each. 
As usual, I picked up more free kindle titles as usual. (Note these are in my Amazon library, NOT on my Kindle until I download and transfer them.)

Are your mailbox and TBR piles blooming?

Review Titles

I was down to 3 NetGalley Titles so I sort of went on a request binge. I received 8 titles through the week. Release dates are shown in parenthesis.
The Rancher's Christmas Song by RaeAnne Thayne (17 Oct 2017)

Gift From the Stars by James Gunn (06 Jun 2017)
This is a sci fi from an author I want to try.
The Forgotten Beasts of Eld by Patricia A. McKillip (19 Sep 2017)
Honestly - I couldn't resist the cover. :-)
The Squirrel on the Train by Kevin Hearne (30 Nov 2017)
I thought this cover was odd then I realized this is short story for Oberon, the Irish wolfhound in the Iron Druid series. It should be fun.

Always Gray in Winter by Mark J. Engels (10 Aug 2017)
I like werecats - this looked a bit different from some of my usual reading. We'll see.
Welcome to Outcast Station by Jeanne Adams, Nancy Northcott (31 Jul 2017)
